While we offer a quality education at a competitive price, we realize that financial issues can still be a burden for many families. Because we believe tourism and hospitality work experience is essential to your long-term success, we have developed great relationships with organizations throughout the state that offer part-time and summer employment opportunities with flexible schedules designed to meet the needs of college students.
Work experience can help you decide which segment of the tourism industry is right for you. The range of employment opportunities in tourism and hospitality is much more diverse than it was even five years ago. Previous experience can also help you land a select internship and ultimately obtain desirable employment as a full-fledged professional.

Residence Inn by Marriott in Cromwell, CT
White Lodging has had a lot of talk about it’s growth in the next couple years. They have asked me to reach out to some of the local universities with successful THS programs and ask if I can speak to some of the Seniors about their future and if WL is good for them. (Being a CCSU Alumni I thought of our department first!) Do you have any classes (either you are teaching or in the program in general) that I may be able to stop in for 15-20 minutes to discuss our company and possibilities of post-graduation opportunities? If possible, I was looking to host the take during the week of October 29th-November 2nd.
